Are you curious about my new drama/romance (hockey, of course)?
You're in luck! Here's a teeny-tiny little snippet of the story.
I hope it makes you curious enough to check it out!

BLINDSIDED is a drama/romance about the scary reality of concussions in sports. Anyone who follows Pittsburgh hockey knows why this topic hits home for me. The last few years I’ve started to pay closer attention and do a little research on my own. I’ve seen not only our Captain suffer from them, but my favorite player, Kris Letang.

These players eat, sleep and breathe hockey. They let very little keep them off the ice. (ahem, Pascal Dupuis, I’m looking at you) I wanted to express that in my story. It’s not as simple as just getting back out on the ice when you have a family at home.

Here is a small excerpt from Trina’s point of view. I am trying not to give too much away, so yes, this excerpt leaves you hanging (sorry).

Sitting in the team suite, Trina had a bird’s eye view of the game. Sam was chasing the puck one moment, and then in a heartbeat he was down. Even from up here, the hit Sam took looked bad. He was lying on the ice, and she was frozen in place. She wanted to run down to the locker room. She wanted to cry and yell. She wanted to make sure he was okay. But she didn’t move. She couldn’t even speak.

A quiet hush filled the arena, as her husband lay motionless on the ice.

Her heart was lodged in her throat as they turned the jumbo screen above the scoreboard to the Renegades logo instead of what was happening on the ice.

That was never a positive sign. A cold band of dread wrapped around her, choking the breath from her.

The team doctor and EMTs ran out to him and joined the already large group of people surrounding him.

Why hasn’t he gotten up yet?
